Aubrey Miles competes in 'Amazing Race Asia'

SEXY star Aubrey Miles is part of the Asian edition of the award-winning US reality TV show Amazing Race—a competition wherein ten teams contend in various countries for the grand prize of 100,000 US dollars (five million pesos).

Aubrey Miles (whose real name is Aubrey Sandel) is partnered with model friend Jacqueline Yu while the husband-and-wife tandem of Ernesto and Jill Lopez comprises the other Filipino team included in this multiple Emmy Award-winning reality game show.

In a phone interview with PEP, Aubrey said that she felt intimidated by the other teams competing in the Asian edition of this highly successful reality show. “Na-intimidate ako sa mga teams na sporty-looking…[mga mukhang] mas malakas [sa amin],” admits Aubrey.

She compares the Asian edition with the US edition that was shown previously here in the country. “Wala naman kaming conflict with other teams kasi ang mga Asian people, very sweet…friendly. Di tulad sa US edition, parang seryoso masyado. Everything is fun,” sums up the star, whose last movie was Exodus: Tales from the Enchanted Kingdom.

Although she could not reveal the countries and the challenges that she went through, she did mention that she was gone from the country for two months and that the Amazing Race Asia will be shown on the cable channel AXN by early November.

Prior to the competition, Aubrey just went to the gym regularly in preparation for the physical demands of Amazing Race Asia. The 26-year old actress describes her best friend, Jac, as a good team player. “Wala kaming naging conflict since we’ve known each other for six years.”

The Amazing Race utilizes progressive elimination; the last team to arrive at a designated checkpoint leaves the game. Along the way, there are challenges that the team members must complete in order to finish the course.

American-born Chinese actor Allan Wu is the host of the Amazing Race Asia.
